Basque Online Courses Now
Available
The Center for Basque Studies has committed to
developing a series of online Basque Cultural Studies
courses during the next two years, thanks in part to a grant
from the Basque Government’s Department of Education.
The first three of these courses are now available.
Additional topics will include three more levels of Basque
language, Basque film, literature, early Basque history,
modern Basque history, Basques and European cultural
history, gastronomy, the Basque diaspora, virtual Euskal
Herria, economy, and cultural studies.
Professors committed to the development of these courses are
Linda White, Gloria Totoricagüena, Jose Mallea,
Marcelino Ugalde, Jaume Martí Olivella, Joseba
Zulaika, Cameron Watson, Joseba Gabilondo, Esti Amorrortu,
Mikel Gómez Uranga, Andoni Alonso, and Javier
Echeverría. The courses will be offered in English,
although the coursework can be done in Spanish and, in most
cases, euskara as well.
Now available
Elementary Basque I - BASQUE C101 - 4 credits
Dr. Linda White
An introduction to the language through
the development of written and conversational language
skills. The course covers rudimentary sentence structure,
affirmative and negative; present tense of basic verbs;
question words; numbers and dates; and telling time.
Emphasis is on Unified Basque (batua) but includes some
information on the dialects.
Bilbao Guggenheim Museum - BASQUE C460/660 - 3
credits
Dr. Joseba Zulaika
The study of Bilbao’s fin de
millennium provides an example of the interdependencies
between museum culture, the international art market,
spectacular architecture, tourism, urban regeneration
discourse, the media, and the promotional selling of
national images in a postnational world. This course has a
multidisciplinary approach: cultural studies, anthropology,
urbanism and architecture, museum and popular culture
perspectives will all be examined.
Basque Culture - BASQUE C471/671 - 3 credits
Dr. Joseba Zulaika
Offers a comprehensive overview of Basque
society, culture, and politics, and provides an
anthropological background to issues of Basque cultural
studies. Emphasis is on contemporary topics of diasporic
culture, identity, and globalization.
